Interesting stuff for Christmas!

 


Condiments of the season! Hopefully things are well with you all. 

I have been very unproductive in the last few months so, in lieu of anything new from me just at the moment, I present some interesting, and free, stuff for your entertainment. 

Les Guerres Picrocholines A small game from Nuts!, and one I have had my eye on for a long while. Based on the famous adventures of Gargantua and friends by François Rabelais (1534). Nuts! have this up as a free print and play here.

Punched magazine A new on-line wargames magazine with a game in it(!). The first edition is here. The game is Gravelotte 1870, an interesting little rock, scissors, paper game. One that looks like it could be very adaptable to other times and theatres. Invading Russia 1941 perhaps? Well worth checking out.

Able Archer I have been remiss in picking up the Rapid Fire Reloaded rules, on the list for next year. However, I have been tinkering with an interesting RF adaptation covering the cold war. You can find these rules on the Free Wargames Rules website here. Able Archer is a subject I intend to return to in the spring.

Peter's WSS rules Last but not least, Peter has published his draft WSS rules, a bit hidden away here. Brilliant!

Back in the New Year.

  2. Hi Jay, thanks for the link for the free download P&P game, those graphics look particularly compelling.

    I have the Rapid Fire Reload and think it's a cracking publication, a fiver well spent. The online army list support is very good.

    Have a good New Year. Norm.

  5. Hi all,

    Thanks for your comments. I'm always really pleased if one of my posts hits the spot with such a well informed readership!

    It looks like I'm investing in RFR in January, Norm is spending my money again!

    Brutal Simplicity is on my project list for January, now Brexit appears to be done I should have a bit more time.

    Happy New Year all!

    Jay
